Overview
- A recent DOJ document release containing millions of records includes email exchanges between Chopra and Jeffrey Epstein from 2016–2017.
- Published excerpts show Chopra writing lines such as “God is a construct. Cute girls are real” and referring to enjoying the company of “younger, intellectually sharp and self-aware women.”
- In a statement on X, Chopra said he was never involved in criminal or exploitative conduct, described any contact as limited and unrelated to abuse, and expressed regret over the tone of some emails.
- Coverage citing CNN and The Guardian reports frequent correspondence and planned social meetings, including references to Woody Allen and a query about Leonardo DiCaprio, plus a separate exchange mentioning Marla Maples.
- Indian public figures criticized Chopra after the emails circulated, and a new viral social media post from artist Sevda Rubens alleged an unsettling late-night invite when she was 16, a claim he has not addressed; officials and outlets note that appearing in the files does not itself establish criminality.
